[NHCOLL-L:501] Micro Slide Collections

[Barbian, Lenore T.]

Our museum has a number of micro-slide collections containing thousands of
individual slides that have been essentially "orphaned" within our
institution.  One of our goals for this year to take better control and care
of these collections but no one on staff has previous experience working
with this type of collection.  We currently have no inventory for slide
collections, and they are stored packed in large boxes.  I was wondering how
other institutions organize, catalog, and store micro slide collections.
Any information, recommendations, or suggestions would be much appreciated.
You can respond to me off-line.

Thank you.
